What dvds do you take on vacation? - Page 3

DawnP · 07-30-10, 11:32 PM

Lisa,
I also second the recommendation to bring KCM Body Training and Cathe's TravelFit.

I just came back from a trip and this time I brought along two downloaded workouts from ExerciseTV that I highly recommend:
Band Workout with Paul Katami (20 minutes)
Total Body Band Workout with Marco Reed (10 minutes)

I did both workouts in one workout session for a 30-minute full body blast. I just played them on my PC, I brought two resistance tubes along but really only needed a moderate-resistance tube.
Have fun on your trip!

Well, if it makes you feel any better, within about 2 days of reading some posts on the everyday check-in, I bought a Wii game 'Walk it Out' because their 'time on the island' sounded like vacation! My DH just rolled his eyes! LOL

Tonique 1
Slim in 6 Burn it Up
Slim Series Firm It Up
P90x+ Intervals X+
BBL Bum Bum disc
CLX Deluxe dvd (w/ Fat Burn Challenge, Get Lean Intervals & I've Got Abs)

None of them are space hogs. All of them work my legs & have some cardio factor. One resistance band & I'm good.

I always bring workout dvds, even on beach vacations where we're doing lots of activities. Dvds provide options when it's raining or when the rest of the family is chilling.

I like to bring Ellen Barrett Studio workouts with me

No equipment needed, and they are short (I often cut them down to 30m) and are always mentally feel good workouts. I also usually bring some yoga and pilates. I ALWAYS bring more videos than I end up needing!

As a VFer I like to have choices

I always bring my running gear too, especially for such a scenic vacation as at the beach. I like to have an early run or walk (whatever my energy level is) as well as a sundown one at the beach. I'm going to OBX next week!!

This time at OBX my sister and I (who usually go alone) are going with our parents, and staying in a small condo, so not sure how my videos are going to work (space and privacy concerns

). And our vacations aren't usually "active", more of a gigantic shop til you drop session! I guess that's still walking around...of course shop til you drop is usually joined by the sister activity munch and eat til you drop

DVDs and equipment that travel with me:

Burn It Up
Travel Fit
30 Day Shred
Banish Fat Boost Metabolism
Tonique Mat
Ab Ripper X

Resistance band

Running shoes

(If I am in a hotel with a fitness room, I do Cathe's PUB from memory!)

I'm another who schedules activities in lieu of my regular fitness videos. We tend to go hiking or on lots of walking while on vacation, for example.

I will bring some yoga and maybe some Pilates.
My current must bring on vacation is actually my Yoga Tune Up balls from Jill Miller (substitute: tennis ball or Pinky Hi-Bounce ball); I've ripped the tracks from her CDs and will put them on my iPod.

I took a Sage Rountree yoga book and Ana Forrest's now out of print yoga deck. At some point I hope to load an ipod with audio practices. But for most days of my last trip, I improvised a flow for 20 minutes.

Just make sure you bring a portable DVD player! I posted this question a few weeks ago, got some great advice, packed my DVD's and equipment, then forgot to bring the player so I couldn't use them. DOH! I got by with running, walking, and doing various exercises with my resistance bands but I was really mad at myself for being so stoopid!

Make sure the accommodation you book has a DVD player. Most of them do.

You take fitness dvds on your vacation? Really?? Now, I don't feel like I'm a real vidiot! I don't take any fitness dvds on my vacation, instead, I do a LOT and I mean a LOT of walking and exploring. I just pick up with dvds when I get home.
